![]() ![]() We all have different lash lengths, density and eye shapes. I hope you found this roundup helpful! I think mascara is always tricky for me to write about because even with reviews it’s hard to tell how one may or may not work for you. It’s also included in the Rachel Goodwin x Les Stars Collection bundle. It doesn’t hold the curl as well as waterproof formulas but doesn’t make mine go straight immediately. I like this because it adds volume with one stroke. I haven’t used it long enough to see if it is indeed strengthening but I don’t know that I would be able to tell with any formula. Once applied it doesn’t have that crunchy feel most mascaras have but it stays put. It has ingredients to soften the lashes which is nice. ![]() This one has a thick chubby wand with bristles and does indeed add serious volume. I’ve tried a few other formulas from Sisley and they’re all ridiculously expensive. For some reason I did not think this was new but the press email I received says it is. Last but not least is the Sisley So Volume Mascara. I just don’t see enough volume and for me there is no curling effect or hold. I like that there’s no clumping, it defines nicely and doesn’t smudge. It just didn’t live up to the description for me. I really do love the brush and how it’s curved and has rubber bristles. It doesn’t hold the curl or curl my lashes. It didn’t work for me or knock my socks off. It’s described as a “curling mascara featuring a unique hybrid brush that dramatically curls and defines lashes for an unparalleled full fan effect.” The description alone plus all near 5-star reviews sold me. I don’t know how new it is (or if it’s really is new). The YSL Faux Cils Volume Effect in The Curler just came on my radar. I haven’t tried it with other formulas but am going to. Paired with the Velvet Noir Mascara it helps the mascara adhere SO much better and makes the mascara look much better. Even most high-end ones just didn’t do enough to wow me so I had low expectations for this Marc Jacobs Velvet Primer. I feel like most primers have done little for my lashes except the L’Oreal Lash Paradise Primer which is great, but not necessary. ![]() Marc Jacobs launched a Velvet Primer to go with their Velvet Noir Mascara. This one adds the most volume that I’ve tried for a non-waterproof formula. I am worried it will smudge with the humidity so I’m going to investigate in the waterproof version soon. The regular formula does not smudge but we have had a cold winter here (it has been down to 40s/50s) and even though it’s warming up the humidity isn’t what it normally is. I bought the pink packaging one at Sephora and really love it. Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara has been raved about my SO many of you. If you haven’t tried anything from her FetishEyes Collection I highly recommend her Perma Precision Liquid Eyeliner (the two available in the Xtreme Duo bundle on her website). If you don’t have issues with straight lashes I think you will have no problem with this formula. ![]() Curl holding is not the best, but also not the worst. For me it doesn’t quite add as much volume or drama as other formulas do but it’s a solid one and I truly appreciate that there is zero clumping. It’s a great non-clumping, defining mascara. I received an early sneak peek and have been testing it for a couple months now. Pat McGrath cannot do wrong in my eyes and she launched the new FetishEyes Mascara earlier this month. Home decor / style note details at the bottom of the post, but for all those asking my nail polish is OPI Another Ramen-tic Evening. A couple of these aren’t entirely brand new but new to me. The good news is there are a lot of new formulas that launched I think you might want to check out. Still I understand it’s a total pain to remove which makes it not worth it for everyone (I swear by these Almay pads to remove the most stubborn of waterproof makeup, make sure you pick the waterproof remover version). For me it’s worth the extra time and effort to remove every evening. I have straight lashes and live in a city that has high humidity so I really prefer waterproof most of the time so it’s beach-proof and sweat-proof. I have another mascara + primer roundup today! As much as I love and swear by waterproof formulas like Chanel Le Volume Waterproof, L’Oreal Lash Paradise Waterproof and Tom Ford Waterproof Extreme (sold out everywhere!), so many of you prefer regular formulas because they’re easier to take off. ![]()
